    Kendrick has trouble with hooks. he has trouble with being subtle. those are two areas of songwriting he could greatly improve in.

    this doesnt mean he doesnt have tracks where he knocks the hook out of the park, or tracks where he tones it down to just the right level. it just means he misses just as much, if not more, than he hits in those aspects.

    Sorry I didn't do my jazz research before listening. Didn't know you could only rap in one voice to jazz.

    Kendrick doesn't stick to one formula or one style. The structure of all his songs vary and the tone/voice he decides to use depends on the emotion he is trying to bring to the song.

    I don't think it's something he needs to work on or improve, it just may be that you prefer his songwriting/tone/voice on some songs more than others.

    Kendrick’s delivery on the track is a higher pitch than normal because it was his younger self, his past, and his roots.
